Well, this was a pain, because the real time smooth zooming and pamming integrated with the callout point transformation were too heavy. It would eat up to 40mb, which made the app freeze.

So, I removed the smooth zoom and pan and the callouts are repositioned only when you stop panning (i.e. you drop) the figure/map.

It’s a cool/ok app, I think. If I load a gif and place some 5 callouts, it will consume only 15/18 Mb of my memory. These are some tradebacks I had to make.

Of course you could try to implement those nice features. If you ever manage to do it, please let me know :0)

Please, be aware that I used Cairgorm.

Estive nos últimos quinze dias (maio / junho de 2008) envolvida com esse projeto pessoal.A idéia veio do componente que está publicado em http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/samples/fig_panzoom/. Ele faz o pan e zoom numa imagem apenas.
Minha intenção era fazer o mesmo, mas podendo receber um UIComponent e tendo um navegador.

• O componente foi desenvolvido sobre Cairngorm.
• O resultado pode ser visto nas imagens abaixo.

I have been, it the last 15 days (may/june 2008), working on this personal project. The idea came from here http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/samples/fig_panzoom/. It pans and zooms an Image, only.
My intention was to have the same feaures, but receiving an UIComponent instance and having a navigator.

• It was built over Cairngorm.
• The result can be seen in the images below.
